However, Garcia's injuries turned out to be more severe than initially reported. According to Garcia's Facebook page, she is undergoing a serious high-risk 8-hour surgery after doctors discovered she suffered a serious spinal cord injury. She is being treated at the Fresno Community Regional Medical Center, which specializes in spinal surgeries.

A trust fund was set up to help Garcia's family with the medical expenses. People can make donations to Bank of the West FBO Jessica Rose Garcia.
